Matthew 24:47

Matthew 24:47

The Faithful Servant and the Evil Servant

45 ^a“Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food¹ in due season?

46 ^aBlessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing.

47 Assuredly, I say to you that ^ahe will make him ruler over all his goods.

48 But if that evil servant says in his heart, ‘My master ^ais delaying his coming,’

49 and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards,

50 the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour that he is ^anot aware of,

51 and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. ^aThere shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
